Disclose Notes: The original story was in black and white (with shading). The art on all pages has been extended on the edges to widen them (not by the original artists); that's why many captions are not left-aligned. Splash page artwork later recreated by Bob Oksner for the cover of Superman (DC, 1939 series) #300 (June 1976).
